Filter setting parameters
Separation frequencies: With the two sliders "1" and "2" you can adjust the separation
frequencies of the three filter bands. The values are displayed in kHz (they correspond with
the intersection of the neighboring frequency curves).
Band separation: These parameters are used to influence different filter properties to
increase "precision". You have the choice between "Low", "Normal", and "High".
Increasing the band separation setting has the following effect:
• The edge steepness of the filter curves increases and the transition range between two
bands decreases.
• Dampening in the stop band increases (setting low: ca. 25-35 dB, normal: ca. 35-45 dB,
high ca. 55-75 dB).
• The ripple of the frequency range of the bands decreases. However, this is not a
problem as the ripple of the individual filter bands compensate each other when put
together thanks to the complementary filter technology. In any case the output signal
does not contain ripples.
The Multiband Stereo Enhancer in the master area of the mixer:
In the master area of the mixer you have access to the stereo enhancer by pressing the
"StE" button which can be found above the master faders. By right-clicking on this button,
the dialog window of the stereo enhancer will open. The knob next to it is connected to the
base width controller of the mid band.
If "Multi-band" mode is not active in the dialog, the changes affect the entire signal. The
knob then functions as a standard base width fader.
Hints & Tips
General info on the base width settings and standard use of the multi-band stereo
enhancer
The human ear is generally incapable of perceiving frequencies below 300 Hz. Stereo
effects in the bass range can be disruptive as different delays can often result in obliteration
which becomes noticeable in spongy and squishy playback of the basses.
The treble range may be important for directional hearing, however, spreading of the base
width often causes annoying side effects here.
Due to these reasons, the base width is usually enlarged or the direction of a mono source
is changed in a middle band.
In the bass area the base width is set to mono by default. Enlarging the base width only
makes sense for special applications.
The treble band is retained during the following standard application and is not changed.
